Lobster roll or Brats with caramelized onions?

Post by rlown »

So, If you were going on an annual trip with good friends, and you had to cook the first meal (only 3 people so far), and had to drive through a hot central valley and then walk 7 miles before you get to your destination, (yeah, i know, lots of commas) what would you pick? The immediate response from one attendee was, "bring a big cut of meat". ok. I've been looking around and thinking. maybe too much.

Lobster rolls or Brats? or?

I need ice.. either way.

Take a couple frozen or partially frozen New York or T-Bones steaks, seal them in some freezer bags, and put them between some pieces of dry ice.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Personally I would prefer brats. But I guess it really depends on who's going....

I recommend Hebrew National Dinner Dogs, and a spicy red jalapeño mustard. Brats need to be boiled in beer brine first, are you prepared for that too?

K. I'm going with that, Mav. Liked the sauerkraut touch. Freestone, you're not far off the mark, either! And yes, I'm prepared for anything.
